Car Seat Kat is here to help with all your car seat woes and wonders!

I have over 10 years experience supporting parents and carers with choosing, fitting and using their car seats safely.

I started off in retail, moved on to work for the good egg guide, then worked for Britax, then spent some time freelance and doing the car seat libraries (which closed down due to Covid) I am now with Silver Cross as Product Technologist Car Safety.

Although I have videos on other brands, these have been filmed when I have not been employed by a manufacturer. As I work for a car seat manufacturer now, I cannot film videos on other brands due to conflict of interest- so if I do put anything up, it’ll be Silver Cross 😊

    Do you have any tips to sort one of the straps being twisted? Tried the triangle method but doesn't go through?

    Hi, The following should help: Loosen off the harness fully, and raise the headrest to the very highest position. Start with the buckle at the bottom of the harness strap, and make the "L" shape. Bring the buckle up over the L shape to remove the twist. It will be very tight, as the newer harnesses are designed to avoid twisting so easily. Force the buckle over the harness fold/L shape, pulling straight up to the sky - it will take some effort, so don't be afraid of really giving it a good pull. You'll likely need the whole harness length to work the buckle across the twist. I hope that helps 🙂

    People like YOU!!!!! I have been crying all evening over this stupid yolk that I couldn’t find not knowing if I could bring my daughter to kindergarden tomorrow and having to buy a new baby car seat. Your video saved the day and days ahead!! Thanks to you I can dry my tears, my baby is sleeping (she felt the stress before and was impossible to make her fall asleep until I calmed down) I cannot enough express my gratitude for what it meant to me. You are one savior❤️ And to @britaxroemer shame on you for not giving any information about this anywhere. This woman deserves to be paid for the video she made!🙏

    Omg!! Britax needs to tag your video on their website for people like us who did this. I was so stressed that I couldn’t take my child to school tomorrow if I can’t fix it tonight!!! We already gave up on it and was ready to buy a new booster seat that we need to upgrade anyway if we can’t figure out how to get this metal thing out!! I had to first find the metal part’s name as Yoke to find your video. Thank you

    How does the car seatbelt work when using it in rear facing? Cannot work it out, manual is rubbish

  • @carseatkat
    @carseatkat2 ай бұрын

    Hi, The seat cannot be fitted with the vehicle seatbelt rear facing (and can’t be fitted belt only in any mode). It fits: Rear facing with harness (birth-4y): ISOFIX and support leg Forward facing with harness (15m-4y): ISOFIX and support leg Forward facing with adult belt securing child (4-12y): ISOFIX only

    You had the curtesy to put the whole procedure on video so thank you for that but cmon do a proper video recording. The chair is always out of frame, the scene is dark, no close ups on what you’re doing, getting in front of the camera… My god…

    For the Britax M i-size the ISOFIX arms sort of just move in a 45 degree angle and the bar can't be pushed back any further. Found a different solution for that though. The strap is attached inside to a plastic bar/lever with a metal rod inside it, by pulling that plastic bar/lever while simultaneously pulling the strap, the arms extend as they should.
